1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveTo investigate the relationship between the precursors of high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) and the characteristics of patients with a low HGSOC risk in terms of the effects of pregnancy.

methodsWe prospectively examined consecutive cases in which the bilateral fallopian tubes were removed during benign gynecological or obstetric surgery and assessed the relationship between the patient characteristics, including parity and pregnancy, and the incidence of HGSOC precursors. All the fallopian tubes were examined by applying the Sectioning and Extensively Examining the Fimbriated End (SEE-FIM) Protocol.

resultsOf the 113 patients enrolled, 67 were gynecological and 46 were obstetric. The p53 signature was identified in 21 patients. No other precursors were identified. In a comparison of the p53 signature-positive and negative groups, parous women and pregnant women were significantly fewer in the p53 signature-positive group (53% vs. 86%, p=0.002, 10% vs. 47%, p=0.001, respectively). Current pregnancy was also associated with a significantly lower incidence of the p53 signature after multivariate adjustment (odds ratio [OR]=0.112; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]=0.017-0.731; p=0.022). Among gynecological patients, parous women were fewer in the p53 signature-positive group on univariate (47% vs. 73%, p=0.047) and multivariate analysis (OR=0.252; 95% CI=0.069-0.911; p=0.036). No other characteristics were associated with p53 signature positivity.

conclusionsThe incidence of the p53 signature was significantly lower in parous women and pregnant women. This decreased incidence of early phase serous carcinogenesis may be one of the possible mechanisms underlying HGSOC risk reduction among parous women.
